Kathanar team completes first schedule

Jayasurya and Home-fame Rojin Thomas are collaborating for Kathanar - The Wild Sorcerer, an ambitious film based on the tales of Kadamattathu Kathanar, a Kerala priest who was believed to possess supernatural powers. On Friday, the director announced the wrapping up of the first schedule.

In a note of gratitude, Rojin thanked all the cast and crew members who worked tirelessly during the 43-day-long shoot. As per his social media post, around 570 individuals worked in various departments during this schedule.

Produced by Sree Gokulam Movies, Kathanar is shot using virtual production technology, which, according to the makers, is the first of its kind in Indian cinema. Major portions of the film have been planned to be shot on a massive 45,000 square feet modular shooting floor.

R Ramanand is scripting the film, which has Neil D Cunha as the cinematographer, Jungjin Park as the action choreographer, and Rahul Subrahmanian Unni as the music director. The makers are yet to reveal any details regarding its cast.
